Pubblicato il 27 gennaio 2026 alle ore 20:51

Do you dream of getting lost among the canals of Venice, admiring the majesty of St. Mark's Square, or walking along the silent "calli"? Excellent choice! From Casa Luna in Montegrotto Terme, reaching the "Serenissima" by train is a convenient, fast option that will allow you to experience an unforgettable day with the certainty of returning to the comfort of your accommodation at the end of the day. Here is a practical guide to better organize your Venetian excursion.

Why the Train? The Smart Choice from Montegrotto:

Forget the stress of parking in Venice (expensive and often far away) and traffic. The train offers a relaxing and direct journey, allowing you to enjoy the Venetian landscape and arrive directly in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Grand Canal.

Your Departure Station: Terme Euganee-Abano-Montegrotto:

The reference railway station for reaching Venice from Casa Luna is Terme Euganee-Abano-Montegrotto. It is easily reachable on foot.

Train Timetables and Costs: Planning Your Day:

Trenitalia offers frequent connections between the Terme Euganee-Abano-Montegrotto station and the Venice Santa Lucia station.

Timetables: I recommend consulting the official Trenitalia website or the Trenitalia app to check updated schedules based on the day of your visit. Usually, trains start leaving early in the morning and there are frequent runs throughout the day, with a final useful run for the return in the evening. Consider taking a train between 8:00 and 9:00 AM to have a full day in Venice and a return train between 6:00 and 7:00 PM to be comfortably back at Casa Luna for dinner.
Costs: The ticket cost varies depending on the type of train (regional, fast regional, Intercity), the chosen class, and how far in advance you book. Regional trains are generally the most economical option. A one-way ticket can cost from about €5.30 to €6. I recommend buying round-trip tickets at the same time for greater convenience. You can purchase tickets online, via the app, at automatic ticket machines, or at the station counters.

Practical Tips for a Perfect Trip:

Buy tickets in advance (especially on weekends or high season periods): This will save you time at the station and could guarantee better rates.
Always check updated schedules: Schedules can change, especially in case of works or strikes.
Wear comfortable shoes: In Venice, you walk a lot!
Bring a water bottle: You can refill it at the public fountains (real works of art!).
Consider purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass: If you intend to use Venetian public transport (vaporetti) and visit multiple museums, this card could be convenient.
Plan your itinerary: Venice is a labyrinth and there are many things to see. Decide in advance what interests you most to optimize your time.
Keep an eye on your personal belongings: As in any large crowded city, it is good to pay attention to bags and wallets.

What to See in Venice in a Day:

Here are some suggestions for an intense but unforgettable day:

St. Mark's Square: The beating heart of Venice, with its imposing Basilica, the Bell Tower, and the Doge's Palace.
Doge's Palace: A masterpiece of Venetian Gothic architecture, rich in history and works of art.
St. Mark's Basilica: Splendid with its golden mosaics and domes.
Rialto Bridge: One of the symbols of Venice, offering a picturesque view of the Grand Canal.
Gondola Ride (optional): An iconic experience, though touristy and expensive.
Explore the Calli and Minor Bridges: Get lost in the maze of narrow streets.
Visit a Minor Church: Often less crowded than the major attractions.
Take a vaporetto ride on the Grand Canal: Line 1 is the most scenic.
Taste the Cicchetti: Try typical Venetian snacks in a "bacaro".

Return to Casa Luna:

Once your day is over, head to Venice Santa Lucia station to catch the train back to Terme Euganee-Abano-Montegrotto. From there, you can easily reach Casa Luna to relax. We hope this detailed guide is useful. Have a good trip!
